Confused of Anglesey

I get confused when people try and tell me three different ways of doing something right away.

I get told to work things out myself and when I can't others get cross.

Somethings I just can't seem to do no matter how many times it's explained, I have a problem where some things go straight to long term memory totally bypassing short term, so I have no neural link to retrieve it. I probably have a tatty drawer in brain full of all the different times I've been told how to do something simple, or simple for others, like C&P, I know I've done it before, but I don't know how and every time I do it is like the first and I still lose things in the ether. I get upset and others get angry and I get more upset and anxious. 

I get told I have to do things that make no sense, like I have to draw a plan of my garden so as I can do it properly, I can't, because I can't draw, squared paper makes my eyes go boggly, but I know exactly what I'm doing and what I want and it's my garden, why should others have to understand so precisely?

Lots of social rules make no sense, what makes it worse is that I can see all the social rules and games, but when I try and do them I still get it wrong, or worse still I name the game and the reaction to that is anger and often disgust too. How can I be meant to know these rules instinctively and follow them blindly, but not actually be aware of them? Are they really all for other people and not me? I dont' know I'm confused

Social Rules are a bummer, for me, too. You want to start a conversation, and it's like, "Who told you?"

Yes, we seem to be a Nation of Rosie Rulebooks. Again, going back to others, people keep saying, "You don't want people talking about ye!"

I think all social species have rules and societies and families have rules all of thier own, alongside the usual ones.

My response to being asked if I don't  want people talking about me is to ask why not?

I do get annoyed with the "how do you know that?" response, I think it a fear in the hearer of appearing ignorant, I've been known to ask "how can you not know that?", often turning a question back on itself is the best thing, it dosen't make you any more popular, but it puts you on the front foot again. I've also asked why when I make a perfectly.valid statement, like 'the lightbulb in the hall has blown', 'what do you mean?' I mean WTF, am I suddenly speaking a foreign language, what did they think I said and why argue with it?
